I got involved with an acting school and studied for a couple years. They used to have improv exercises that you would work on and you would do improvs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After going to theater school, and then subsequently dropping out, I would say that when I first went to Chicago and learned long-form improv, that was a far better acting workshop than any acting school I've been to.
I joined an acting class in my junior year in high school. I'd always wanted to try it.
I did a lot of acting at school and university, then I went to drama school. It was quite a normal route.
I went to theater school, and if I spent time with one school of thought in this whole acting game, it's the Meisner approach of improvise-based acting. This does not mean that you improvise your acting, but that you focus on the other person.
I took one class at Second City called Improv for Actors, and that was it, and that was only because my agent told me I had to.
I never did improv professionally, but that was certainly in my training as an actor. I like it.
I went to a lot of theatre schools, got a lot of training, did a lot of repertory where you do a different play every night. I took a lot of voice, movement, and acting classes.
I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.
I went to acting school, but only for nine months. If you're an actor, you know, don't really need to learn how to do it.
I went to a very academic school that actually - when I got to the point of wanting to pursue acting, they just had no idea how to do that, because all of their contacts were very academic.
